Who's Who? Wednesday

Professor Ludwig Von
Drake
This week I will be talking
about one of my all time favorite characters in
honor of Long Lost Friends week. Professor
Ludwig Von Drake has been around for many years.
He can be found in 'Mickey's Magical Christmas:
Snowed in at the House of Mouse,' 'A Symposium
of Popular Songs,' television shows such as 'DuckTales,'
'House of Mouse,' 'The Wonderful World of
Color,' 'Disneyland,' 'Quack Pack,' 'Bonkers,'
'Mickey Mouse Clubhouse,' 'Raw Toonage,' and
'Mickey Mouse Works.' He's also appeared in
video games like Mickey's Speedway USA, Goofy's
Hysterical History Tour, Disney Golf, and Mickey
Saves the Day 3D Adventure. In other merchandise
he can be found in things such as books, toys,
clothing, pins, and vinylmations.
He has lived in a few
different places including Mickey's Toontown,
Duckburg, and Burbank. He has many friends that
he can count on such as the Fab Five, Scrooge
McDuck, Walt Disney, Launchpad McQuack, and
Bonkers. His enemies include Mortimer Mouse,
Pete, and The Phantom Blot. He is part of the
historic Duck Family.
Ludwig has white feathers with
gray hair, gray eyebrows, and he is partially
bald. He has an orange bill and orange feet. He
wears a white shirt, gray overcoat, black tie,
tan vest, and he wears glasses. Over the years
the colors of his coat, vest, and jacket have
changed. He is very smart, yet crazy and funny.
He also has a very think German accent.
*FUN FACT* Professor Ludwig
Von Drake has hosted 6 Disney Sing-Along videos.
(Under the Sea, You Can Fly, Colors of the Wind,
Fun With Music, 101 Notes of Fun, and I Love to
Laugh)
He was animated by the
legendary animators Ward Kimball and Milt Kahl.
He was originally voiced the extremely talented
Paul Frees, since he was voiced by Corey Burton
and Walker Edmiston.
Ludwig Von Drake is a very
rare character in Disney theme parks around the
world. He is usually used for special occasions
such as Marathons and other rare events. His
presence can be found in parks such as a window
in Toontown in Disneyland, World of Color's
pre-show in Disney California Adventure, Mouse
Gear in Epcot, and he also has a statue in
Disneyland Paris.
I will leave you with a
partial lyric to one of my favorite Disney songs
'The Spectrum Song':
Red, yellow, green, red, blue

Red, purple, green, yellow,
orange, red red
Red, yellow, green, red, blue
